• Gobustan Rock Art - A private car or minibus, depending on the group size, will transport visitors to Gobustan National Reserve. At the Gobustan Museum, the tour guide will provide extensive information, allowing participants to explore the lives of Gobustan’s ancient inhabitants through interactive displays and exhibits.

After exploring the Gobustan Museum, the tour continues to the mountain to view authentic rock paintings in the open-air museum. The petroglyphs (stone carvings) in Gobustan are as important as those in the Chauvet Caves and remained untouched for millennia until their discovery in the 1930s. Visitors will have the opportunity to see these prehistoric engravings, including images of ancient inhabitants appearing to perform a tribal dance!

• Mud Volcanoes - The tour will then proceed to the mud volcanoes, located 20 minutes from the Gobustan National Museum. Azerbaijan ranks first globally for the number of mud volcanoes, with approximately 300 found on the shore, in the sea, and on islands. This trip offers a unique chance to observe these rare and active volcanoes up close. Some people believe in the mud’s medicinal properties, so it might be worth trying it on your skin!

Important Note:

During wet seasons or rainy weather, the Mud Volcanoes can become very muddy and inaccessible by car. Therefore, if the weather is rainy or road conditions are poor, the trip to the mud volcanoes will be replaced with a visit to Bibiheybat Mosque on the return to the city center.

• Sahil Park - The tour concludes at Sahil Park, one of Baku’s central parks. Alternatively, participants can be dropped off at their accommodation if preferred.

Explore Gobustan museum, ancient petroglyphs and mud volcanoes on a private 4-hour tour with a local guide. Gobustan National Park is one of Azerbaijan’s most popular sights attracting thousands of tourists annually. It is included in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list. The stone carvings found in this area date back to between 5,000 and 20,000 years ago. One of the most exhilarating images is the ritualistic dance of early humans. There are a lot of similarities between Gobustan stone carvings and images found in other parts of the world. The boat motif is a typical example of Bronze Age art.

Throughout this journey, you will be guided by a professional and local English speaking tour guide. After the visit to Gobustan, you will also get direct experience with mud volcanoes (no worries, these volcanoes are actually cold!).

Our guide will also share useful information about the country, its culture and life in general to make your stay in Baku much more interesting and exciting!
